Love it

Use this on my face instead of the pm moisturizer now. They changed the formula & it just seemed like my skin absorbed it & was left dry. I started with this lotion when I switched my routine to fragrance free 13 years ago when i was pregnant & developed an allergy. I have recently started vitamin c & need a niamicide free lotion. This works & leaves my skin hydrated. May be clogging if you don’t have dry skin. I would use the cetaphil moisturizer in same bottle as cerave am/pm if your oily.

Good quality lightweight moisturizer

Pros:

No/Low scent
Not greasy
Very moisturizing

Cons:

Reacts slightly with BP

I've recently begun on the Regimen and started before I had a quality moisturizer. My skin was getting REALLY dry and I wanted to get rid of the visual effects of the hardening of the BP. The moisturizer I was using just wasn't cutting it, so I went out and got this one. After about 3 days my skin is almost back to it's normal moisture levels. It's not greasy though may not be heavy duty enough for the depths of winter. It hasn't caused breakouts or clogged pores. The Glycerin does react slightly with the BP on my face creating some mild tingling or burning if my skin is in bad shape but it fades.

Leaves a sticky feeling

Pros:

Moisturizes

Cons:

Leaves sticky feeling

I like that this lotion is lightweight feeling on my face. It is effective in moisturizing my face but it seems like no matter how little I use, it always leaves a sticky feeling on my face. I don't even use half a pump.

Pros:

it doesn't make my face oily! this is the only moisturizer i have ever used that leaves my face relatively matte for over 2 hours

Cons:

doesn't moisturize great but its a small price to pay

i started using dan's bp. my skin before used to be very very oily. i used proactiv and my acne was under control but i was looking for a cheaper alternative. i wash with purpose bar, then use dan's, then moisturize with cerave. my skin has now turned pretty dry after using dan's but after using cerave its nice!

Pros:

smooth, silky texture

Cons:

application

I use Cerave AM with Epiduo, which treats my light acne. Epiduo has left my skin very dry and Cerave is to help soothe it. I've been using both products for a week. Cerave is a well priced, high quality product. I love that it contains SPF and the way it leaves my skin feeling, but it hasn't visibly helped my dryness yet. When rubbed in, it seems to not apply evenly / seems to not soak in well, and does not visibly help flakes, and only lasts for 3-5 hours before my skin is dry again. Granted, I've just started using the product that has been drying my skin. I recommend patting this into the skin rather than rubbing it. This helps to blend the product in more and is less abrasive. I expect that after another week or two of use I will have had a much better result from this product, after my skin gets more accustomed to the Epiduo and dryness ceases.

Pros:

Very light moisturizer that absorbs well; my 2 yr old daughter's dr recommended it for eczema as well

Cons:

Burns quite a bit when I use it with the BP. Certain areas of my face get overly-dry with the BP - I have to apply CeraVe several times throughout the day on those areas because it provides such light moisture coverage

Good, light moisturizer; not necessarily good for someone with sensitive skin who is also using Benzoyl Peroxide

Pros:

Good moisturizer.

Cons:

No SPF

I've used this cream before when my friend gave it to me and it works very well. My dermatologist prescribed me tazorac and told me that after washing my face with Cetaphil, to use this moisturizer so that the tazorac won't make my skin red and dry. It's worked so far! Try it.

Pros:

Moisturizes great, light and non-greasy, absorbs quickly

None.

Works great to moisturize dry and regular skin. Has a good consistency. Absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling non-greasy. Highly recommended.

Pros:

Well formulated product that is light and noncomedogenic so it is great for the face. LEaves little if any shine and is not greasy. Using it for the body though requires several apllications as I prefer something a bit thicker and more oily

Cons:

I wish it was thicker as it feels like you need a pump or two for the face. On the body it doesn't feel like it's moisturizing well because it's not greasy. But others say skin is softer so it must be working.

Great moisturizer with no breakouts whatsoever. A little shiny, so I wish it had a matte finish for the face. Excellent moisturizer for the face but I might use their creme product for the body. It also seems to burn a bit after application but I'm using it in conjunction with topical retin A.

Pros:

Light, moisturizes well without anything below it

Cons:

If you use benzoyl peroxide or anything under this moisturizer, it won't work. It clumps up and does not moisturize well. Definitely not recommended for people using creams and gels for their acne.

Works great for a standard lotion with nothing under, but anything under it will block the absorption of this moisturizer.
